'The Voice' Tour Dates Announced

Carson Daly last night confirmed on-air that 'The Voice' finalists will take the show on the road this summer for a series of live shows.

So far, six dates have been confirmed, and the tour will kick off July 27th at the Gibson Amphitheater in Los Angeles.

NBC announced that the Sprint-sponsored Live Nation Tour will feature performances from the show's top contestants including Team Christina's top two artists, finalist Beverly McClellan and runner up Frenchie Davis; Team Blake's top two, finalist Dia Frampton and runner up Xenia; Team Cee Lo's top two, runner up Nakia and finalist Vicci Martinez; and Team Adam's top two, runner up Casey Weston and finalist Javier Colon.

As AOL TVpreviously reported, the judges will not be part of the live lineup. Sources say that tour organizers had wanted them to join the show's contestants but talks apparently broke down over compensation.

It's possible that if the quartet had agreed to tour, it would have included dates in bigger, more prestigious venues such as New York's Madison Square Garden.
